The song Long, Long Time is performed by Linda Ronstadt in the album named Linda Ronstadt: Greatest Hits in the year 1990 .
Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time
Caught in my fears blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew, one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
For a long, long time
Wait for the day, you'll go away
Knowing that you warned me
Of the price I'd have to pay and life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and change your mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you
For a long, long time
'Cause I've done everything I know
To try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long time
